Ok, let's see.

js code:

---

var ControlsXPath = "//Interfaces/Window[@Id=\"" + WindowId + "\"]/Controls/Control";
var ElementsXPath = "//Interfaces/Window[@Id=\"" + WindowId + "\"]/Elements/Element";
/
ret.Interface[WindowId] = new Object();
ret.Interface[WindowId].Controls = new Object();
ret.Interface[WindowId].Elements = new Object();

1) Am I able to create my own, like this?  For example, to get the window title:

js code:

---

var CaptionsXPath = "//Interfaces/Window[@Id=\"" + WindowId + "\"]/Attributes/Caption";
var TitlesXPath = "//Interfaces/Window[@Id=\"" + WindowId + "\"]/TitleBar/Title/Text";

---

But...  it can't be enumerated:

js code:

---

var K = new Enumerator(xml.selectNodes(CaptionsXPath));

---

It's different, because the value isn't "<Item Parameter="Value">", but "<Item>Value</Item>".  How can I get that?

js code:

---

var K = new Enumerator(xml.selectNodes(ControlsXPath));
if(K.count() > 0) {
    for(; !K.atEnd(); K.moveNext()) {
        var ControlNode = K.item();
        var ControlId = ControlNode.getAttribute("Id");
        // Define an object for this control type (as in ButtonControl or StaticControl) that contains the actual control
        // Only done when necessary
        if(ControlId in ret.Interface[WindowId].Controls) {
            //[alert the user that there's 2 or more controls with the same ID]
            continue;
        }
        // You'll have to do your own stuff here
        ret.Interface[WindowId].Controls[ControlId] = "null" //[JScript control definition stuff]
    }
}

---

2a) If that gets a control ID, then I assume that getting the type uses the same method, replacing ".getAttribute("Id")" with ".getAttribute("xsi:type")", right?
2b) Would this work:
[code left out]

---

1) yes.
2) also yes, but instead of "ControlLeft" and "ControlId" variables, you may wanna use an object with these properties:

code:

---

var Control = new Object();
Control.Id = xmlNode.getAttribute("Id"); // xmlNode in this case is K.item();
Control.Type = xmlNode.getAttribute("xsi:type");
Control.Position = {
    "Left"    : xmlPosNode.getAttribute("Left"),
    "Top"    : xmlPosNode.getAttribute("Top"),
    "Width"    : xmlPosNode.getAttribute("Width"),
    "Height"    : xmlPosNode.getAttribute("Height") // Note that there's no comma on this one
}// Object definition, version 2

---

About the enumeration thingy: there's probably only one node, so enumeration would be useless with "var CaptionsXPath = "//Interfaces/Window[@Id=\"" + WindowId + "\"]/Caption";" and such. You can retrieve the caption using the following code:

JScript code:

---

var CaptionXPath = "//Interfaces/Window[@Id=\"" + WindowId + "\"]/Caption"
var node = xml.selectSingleNode(CaptionXPath);
var sCaption = node.text;

Never mind, I started with the same amount of questions

Oh and sorry for the late answer. Had no PC for over a week
